Famous quotes containing the words veneration and/or saint:

    “Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “You, mistress,
    That have the office opposite to Saint Peter,
    And keeps the gate of hell!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
